| O grant us light, that we may knowThe wisdom Thou alone canst give,
 That truth may guide where’er we go,
 And virtue bless where’er we live.
 O grant us light, that we may seeWhere error lurks in human lore,
 And turn our doubting minds to Thee,
 And love Thy simple Word the more.
 O grant us light, that we may learn,How dead is life from Thee apart,
 How sure is joy for all who turn
 To Thee an undivided heart.
 O grant us light, in grief and pain,To lift our burdened hearts above,
 That truth may guide where’er we go,
 And virtue bless where’er we live.
 O grant us light, when, soon or late,All earthly scenes shall pass away,
 In Thee to find the open gate
 To deathless home and endless day.
